Chords
If You Were A Stone

Key: A

Introduction:

                                 G                                           D 
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
                     Em                                           C 
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
                               G                                         D 
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
                         Em                                         C 
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
 G                               D 
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
 Em                                                           C 
        It's never easy, then it hurts
 G                                                 D 
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
 Em                                                                 C 
        But we're both moving in reverse
 G                                                                   D 
  I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
 Em                                                                           C 
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
Chorus
                                       G 
We'd count the stars
                                           D 
My hands in your leaves
                                         Em                                               C 
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
                                   G                                       D 
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
                             Em                                           C 
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
Bridge:   (Mute chords early on)
 G 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for…
 D 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for…
 Em                                                                                 C 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
 G 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for…
 D 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for…
 Em                                                                                 C 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
Chorus
                                   G                                         D 
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
                               Em                                       C 
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
